Indeed, the final frontier is the latest place for you to venture
in "Grand Theft Auto V" — albeit unofficially, as this is an
upcoming "mod" for the PC version of "GTA V." When the game was
released for PC players, it also got "mod" support allowing
custom modifications to the game's code; in practice, that means
there are dozens of variants of the "GTA V" formula out there
waiting to be played.

A handful of hardcore "GTA" fans are putting together "Grand
Theft Auto Space," and it looks to be coming along quite well if
a new trailer is any indication.

It looks like a central concept of "Grand Theft Auto Space" is
taking on aggressive aliens who look more "Mars Attacks!" than
"Independence Day." But can you hijack their ship? Here's hoping!

The "Grand Theft Auto" game series is notorious for its mockery
of modern culture, for its aggressive attitude, and for its
massive open worlds. This isn't a series about shooting alien
invaders before they can enslave humanity — it's about riding
down the street in my six four, so to speak. As such, "Grand
Theft Auto Space" is a delightful twist on a long-running
series.

Check out the latest trailer for the mod, which its creators say
is "coming soon," right here:
